With each state entry, award-winning author and mineral and fossil expert Yinan Wang presents details about several meteorites that are worthy of becoming official state meteorites. Since no state has an official state meteorite, this kids' guidebook explores each state's 'unofficial' meteorite, along with its interesting backstory of why it was selected. From the Lafayette Mars meteorite found in a drawer in Purdue University to the 26-pound space rock that smashed into the trunk of a car in Peekskill, New York, immerse young science students in an encyclopedic yet easy read that is great for aspiring meteoriticists."--adapted from Amazon website.10aMeteoritesvJuvenile literature20aMeteorites zUnited States vJuvenile literature20aMeteors1 aLevy, Jane,eillustrator.
